Though many of our favorite lunch-box snacks came wrapped in cartoon character packaging or were shaped like animals, it's some of Mom's healthier options that have stuck with us. Case in point: ants on a log, otherwise known as pieces of celery spread with peanut butter, then topped with a few raisins. A perfect combination of sweet, salty and crunchy, the snack targets all the major craving groups and tastes good to boot. It's also got the goodness of raw celery (that legendary "negative calorie" veggie) and the protein-fat combo of peanut butter, which will help fill you up and ward off cravings for the rest of the afternoon. To make it even healthier, try swapping the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter, which are often lower in sugar, calories and carbs. Mom probably didn't do that, but she was still on the right track.
